Goukon ni Ittara Onna ga Inakatta Hanashi (How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer) - Episode 1 Review

-

The first episode of Goukon ni Ittara Onna ga Inakatta Hanashi offers a unique twist on the typical romance and slice-of-life genres, as a group of guys accidentally find themselves at an all-male mixer, which leads to plenty of humorous misunderstandings and unexpected chemistry.

Release Schedule Complications 

One major talking point for this show is its staggered release schedule, with Abema streaming it a week earlier than the TV broadcast, and HiDive offering it to U.S. viewers on Fridays. This has led to some scattered discussions online, but it hasn't slowed down the buzz around the show.

Character Dynamics Shine 

The show quickly establishes its characters, and viewers are already picking their favorites. Suou’s aggressive pursuit of Tokiwa stands out, while Fuji's low-key smut writer personality targets the unassuming Asagi. Kohaku’s innocent demeanor, combined with her surprising strength, has won over many fans, especially with her interactions with Hagi.

A Fun Gender Twist 

The guys, thrown off by the unexpected setup, don’t quite know how to react, adding to the hilarity. The tomboyish charm of the "girls" is clearly a major appeal, with many fans rooting for the boys to drop their preconceptions and embrace the uniqueness of the situation.

Final Thoughts

Episode 1 sets the stage for a lighthearted and entertaining series. The mix of goofy male characters and their equally quirky counterparts creates a fun dynamic that's worth sticking around for. Fans are already looking forward to seeing how these unusual relationships develop in future episodes.

Ao no Hako - Blue Box Episode 2 Review

-
It feels like déjà vu, but not in a good way. Blue Box, or Ao no Hako , has stumbled into distribution hell, much like Shikanoko Nokotan . Episode 2 has been released in Japan with multilingual subs, yet the rest of the world only has Episode 1 on Netflix. This Netflix JP early release is causing chaos for international fans, and to top it off, some groups have already posted torrents with subs. The frustration is palpable. Episode 1 created solid momentum for the series, but now that energy is at risk of being snuffed out due to this staggered release schedule. We’ve seen it before — when Netflix rolls out episodes inconsistently, international fans often turn to piracy or find themselves out of sync with the discussion. The mods need to step in before things spiral out of control, but so far, the subreddit has remained stuck to its “subs are up, post the thread” policy, which doesn’t help when most of the world’s asleep or can’t access the episode legally. Production Quality Still Ho...

The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest – Episode 1 Review

-
The premiere episode of The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest leans heavily into the familiar tropes of fantasy anime, without adding much flair or excitement. The plot starts with the expected premise: a healer, exiled from his party, harbors secret strength beyond what anyone could imagine. The generic setup is effortlessly predictable, leaving viewers wondering if this show will rise above its bland beginnings. The Plot: Predictably Generic The episode introduces us to Laust, a healer who finds himself unceremoniously ousted from his party. The narrative is immediately bogged down by lackluster storytelling, offering only a superficial explanation for his dismissal. Viewers are left scratching their heads as the reasons for his exile remain frustratingly vague, almost as if the show is intentionally hiding crucial information to set up a reveal in future episodes. Yet, the buildup is executed in such a dull manner that any intrigue is lost amidst th...
